Noontime Culture Talks
provide an opportunity for staff to share their culture and/or
heritage with the campus community. The presentation can consist
of a talk and/or slide show, reading family stories/history, or
sharing crafts or other symbols of heritage. Sponsored by the
Diversity Education Program, Culture Talks are offered monthly.

More than 200 officers from 90 California
police and sheriff's departments came to UCSC
last month for a workshop on child abduction and sexual predators.
The one-day workshop was designed to ensure that law enforcement
officers know what resources they may call upon and what actions
they should take if a child is abducted in their area. It was
sponsored by UCSC and the California Department of Justice's Sexual
Habitual Offender Program.
UCSC's updated mailing address
is: University of California, 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA
95064-1077. The street address and expanded ZIP code should always
be included.

Majeski worked 15-hour shifts, helping supervise hundreds of ushers,
ticket takers, and volunteers; address maintenance problems; and
